The new gathering place for fans will include engraved bricks that have also been in storage since 2013 — 100 recalling historic moments in Habs history, as well as thousands purchased by fans.

The plaza will also include tributes to all 24 Stanley Cup-winning teams and each of the 17 players whose Canadiens jerseys have been retired, as well as a monument that catalogues every player who skated for the Habs in the club’s first century, with major award winners listed.
